Shard: Notes & Capture

Capture fast. Export anywhere.

Free · In-App Purchases

Capture thoughts in seconds, scan documents with OCR, and send clean notes to Notion, Tana, Obsidian, Todoist, or Things. Shard is a fast, lightweight capture app for ideas that don’t belong in your head. It’s designed for the moments when something matters, but not enough to open a full notes app, decide where it lives, or break your flow. You open Shard, capture the thought, and move on. Every note starts as a shard — a short, flexible piece of information that stays in your inbox until you decide what to do with it. Export it to Notion, Obsidian, or your existing system, then archive it to keep your space clear. No clutter. No mental overhead. Shard is offline-first, instant to open, and built around the idea of Inbox Zero for notes. Your inbox shows only what still needs attention. Everything else stays safely archived for a while, just in case. It’s not a replacement for your knowledge base. It’s the missing layer before it. What Shard is for • Capturing thoughts before they disappear • Quick notes during meetings or calls • Ideas you’ll organise later • Temporary information you don’t want to lose • Keeping your main notes app clean What makes Shard different Inbox-first design Your main view is always clear once you’ve dealt with everything. No endless lists of old notes. Export, then archive Send shards to Notion or Obsidian when they’re ready, then archive them to keep your focus on what’s new. Offline by default Everything works without a connection. Sync when you choose. Lightweight by design No folders to decide on. No structure to maintain. Just capture → decide → move on. Designed for clarity, not collection Most note apps optimise for keeping things forever. Shard optimises for letting things go. It gives you a safe place to capture ideas quickly, process them intentionally, and keep your working space calm.
